Secluded WIMP Dark Matter
Maxim Pospelov, Adam Ritz, Mikhail B. Voloshin
We consider a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMP annihilation to metastable m…
Environmental Dependence of Masses and Coupling Constants
Keith A. Olive, Maxim Pospelov
We construct a class of scalar field models coupled to matter that lead to the dependence of masses and coupling constants on the ambient matter density. Such models predict a devi…
Unifying inflation and dark matter with neutrino masses
Rouzbeh Allahverdi, Bhaskar Dutta, Anupam Mazumdar
We propose a simple model where a {\it gauge invariant inflaton} is responsible for cosmic inflation and generates the seed for structure formation, while its relic {\it thermal} a…
The galactic 511 keV line from electroweak scale WIMPs
Maxim Pospelov, Adam Ritz
We consider possible mechanisms via which electroweak scale WIMPs χ^0 could provide the source of the INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV photon flux from the galactic centre. We consider scenari…
Classification of Dimension 5 Lorentz Violating Interactions in the Standard Model
Pavel A. Bolokhov, Maxim Pospelov
We give a complete classification of mass dimension five Lorentz-non-invariant interactions composed from the Standard Model fields, using the effective field theory approach. We i…
Primordial Lithium Abundance in Catalyzed Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Chris Bird, Kristen Koopmans, Maxim Pospelov
There exists a well known problem with the Li7+Be7 abundance predicted by standard big bang nucleosynthesis being larger than the value observed in population II stars. The catalys…
